To change the UI Language or Keyboard layout, go to the following:

Settings > Regional

:

Language and Keyboard

From this tab, the user can access pull-down menus to select the printer’s

defaults for the following: Language, Keyboard Layout, IME Scheme and

Primary Currency.

Notes: (1)

The language, when set here, will be overridden by the language
of the UI (Settings > User Interface > Language & Keyboard).
Setting the language here is necessary only for things like alerts,
which on some printers comes back pre-translated from the
printer.

(2)

The keyboard layout language can also be changed from the
keyboard itself by selecting ‘Language’ from the Add Text
screen.

(3)

The primary currency determines which symbol is on the main
keyboard (other symbols are available on the symbol keyboard).

Date and Time

Select either the displayed System Date or System Time to edit.
